Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former MP from Maharashtra, Navneet Rana, has received a threat through a letter demanding Rs 10 crore, prompting the police to register a case and launch an investigation, an official said on Tuesday.
The letter addressed to the former MP from Amravati was sent via speed post by a man, who identified himself as Amir.
Rana's personal secretary Vinod Guhe lodged a formal complaint with Rajapeth police station in Amravati alleging that the letter was received by a staffer at Rana's residence on October 11.
The sender of the letter stated that he had taken a supari for Rana and threatened to sexually assault her, the complainant stated.
The police have registered an FIR and investigating the matter, a police official said.
